In terms of color and rendering, Robin's watercolors push the medium far beyond what we're accustomed to seeing. Having worked for decades (she studied at California College of Arts and Crafts in the 1970’s) driven only by a fierce love for the art and for her subject matter, Robin is long overdue for her own show, making this a very exciting opportunity for Holton Studio to introduce a previously undiscovered but astonishing talent.
Under-celebrated and quiet as she is, it’s perhaps suitable that her subject for this show is the intimate and deceptively placid beauty of Tomales Bay, a well-loved Northern California locale commonly upstaged by the more dramatic scenery of Point Reyes’s nearby cliffs and ocean beaches. Even those familiar with the area will discover a new perception of its beauties in Robin’s images of the shoreline, trees, and always the glorious interplay of fog and sunlight. As do all great pictures, Robin’s sharpen our vision of these familiar places and intensify their meaning for us, reminding us that at the foundation of a good life is a simple love of place.
It’s with great enthusiasm that I invite you to join me in welcoming this extraordinarily skilled and clear-eyed artist to the scene.
